Winsor  & Newton’s  Water  Colors. 


Previous  to  the.  establishment  of  the  house  of  "Winsor  and  Newton  (In  1832),  the 
evil  repute  of  want  of  permanence  attached  to  the  Water  Colors  in  ordinary  use; 

. and  the  most  beautiful  productions  of  Water  Color  Art  were  inevitably  fugitive 
through  the  instability  of  the  materials  employed. 

This  deplorable  state  of  so  beautiful  and  purely,  an  art,  urged  Winsor  and  New- 
ton to  earnest  inquiry  and  research,  with  a view  of  raising  the  character  of  the 
material  employed. 

Their  first  care  was  to  exclude,  as  far  as  possible,  all  objectionable  pigments; 
and  to  bring  forward  and  recommend  only  colors  that  could  be  relied  on  for 
permanence,  and  from  which  purity  and  richness  of  tone  were  obtainable. 

They  next  turnpd  their  attention  to  the  employment  of  .machinery  in  grinding, 
and  overcame  all  difficulties  on  this  score  in  1840. 

The  high  standard  of  excellence  sought  by  Winsor  and  Newton  entirely  set 
aside  all  common  recipes  and  pernicious  compounds,  and  rendered  indispensable 
the  aid  of  Chemical  Science.  Consequently  perfectly  appointed  Chemical  Works 
were  established  by  them  in  1844. 

The  advantageous  .results  of  the  establishment  of  these  Works  were  apparent 
in  the  production  of  colors  totally  different  from  previous  manufactures.  The  old 
colors  were  improved  and  ne%v  ones  introduced.  Of  Winsor  & Newton’8 
Water  Colors,  therefore,  it  may  be  stated,  that  sound  chemical  knowledge 
and  complete  laboratory  plant  and  apparatus, — powerful  and  specially  adapted 
machinery,—  and  the  matured  experience  of  many  years,  ensure  purity  of  Pigment, 
exquisite  fineness,  and •'&  most  perfect  form  of  preparation  for  the  Artist's  palette.

Oil  Colors  in  Collapsible  Tubes. 

■Winsor  & Newton  have  long  pair!  special  attention  to  the  production  and 
preparation  of  their  Artists’  Oil  Colors,  which  have  attained  their  present  high 
reputation  by  possessing  characteristic  qualities,  established  by  every  variety  ot 
concluive  test. 

Tlio  Figments  used  are  of  the  highest  and  purest  quality.  At  flic  “North  London 
Color  Works,”  Winsor  A:  Newton  possess  every  facility  and  appliance  for  the  pro 
Unction  of  manufactured  colors,  and  the  testing,  purifying,  Are.,  of  natural  ones. 

Grinding  Artists’  Colors  by  machinery  was  first  commenced  by  Winsor  A:  Newton 
in  1840,  special  apparatus  being  invented  by  them  for  the  imrpose.  Since  that 
period  still  further  improvements  have  been  made;  and  at  present  there  exists 
no  machinery  that  for  power  ami  precision,  combined  with  great  cleanliness  in 
working,  cun  at  all  compare  with  that  invented  and  porfeutod  by  Winsor  A;  New- 
ton for  the  grinding  of  their  Artists’  Oil  Colors. 

No  mediums  or  admixtures  are  used  in  tlio  preparation  of  these  Colors,  which, 
consequently,  keep  fresh  and  pure  and  ready  for  use,  without  reference  to  time 
or  climate. 

Briefly,  therefore,  it  may  be  mentioned  that  Ihe  best  and  purest  rigments,  most 
thoroughly  ground  In  unadulterated  Oil,  form  the  ingredients  of  Winsor  Sc  Now- 
ton’s  Oil  Colors,  causing  them  to  take  the  foremost  rank,  and  to  bo  used  most 
extensively  both  at  home  and  abroad.

Lacroix’s 

Enamel  Colors  in  Collapsible  Tubes, 

For  Painting  on  Glazed  China  or  Tiles. 


The  singular  interest  that  has  been  excited  in  late  years  In  the  subject  of  Tot- 
tery is  at  this  time  bearing  remarkable  fruit  in  the  shape  of  a ■widespread  effort 
to  produce  forms,  and  surface  decoration  on  forms,  that  shall  rival  those  done  in 
such  old  times  as  are  regarded  as  being  peculiarly  rich  In  artistic  light  and 
insight.  The  rivals  to  the  ancient  works  are  seen  daily  in  Increasing  numbers 
and.  in  varying  beauty,  and  of  most  diverse  colors  and  characters.  Scarcely  a 
month  now  passes  but  some  addition  is  made  to  the  number  of  wares  decorated 
by  new  methods,  which  take  the  impress  of  the  individual  minds  that  have 
invented  them. 

This  interest  which  has  heretofore  been  confined  principally  to  European 
Countries  is  now  gaining  with  us,  and  people  of  refined  culture  are  giving  much 
attention  to  this  truly  beautiful  art.  On  account  of  this  Interest  a demand  has 
been  created  for  Lacroix’s  Colors,  so  extensively  used  in  China  and  Tile  painting, 
and  to  meet  this  demand  wo  have  Imported  from  the  manufacturer  a full  assort- 
ment which  we  oiler  111  separate  tubes  or  neatly  arranged  In  boxes.

Winsor  4 Newton’s 

Artists'  Prepared  Canvas. 

The  finest  and  best  British  made  Canvas  of  Pure  Flax,  and  the  purest  color  and 
materials  only,  are  used  by  Winsor  & Newton  in  the  production  of  theif  .Artists’ 
Prepared  Canvas. 

The  superior  method  of  manufacture  adopted  by  Winsor  & Newton  materially 
enhances  the  quality  of  their  Artists’  Canvas.  It  is  dried  naturally  and  without 
the  aid  of  artificial  means;  and  the  adhesion  of  the  surface  of  preparation  to  the 
ground  of  raw  Canvas  is  so  intimate  and  thorough,  as  to  preclude  the  possibility 
of  Its  peeling  up  or  becoming  detached  in  any  way. 

Winsor  & Newton’s  Artists’  Prepared  Canvas  is  firm,  solid  and  strong;  will  bear 
rolling;  and  is  warranted  to  keep  any  length  of  time,  and  in  any  climate  without 
cracking.

SPECIAL  EXTRA  FINE  BRISTLE  BRUSHES. 


Note.  — These  Brushes  are  made  at  the  suggestion,  and  after  the  patterns,  of 
some  of  the  most  eminent  Artists  of  the  day.  The  hair  of  which  they  are  com- 
posed is  specially  prepared,  so  as  to  insure  the  Brushes  keeping  their  peculiar 
shapes.  The  various  shapes,  as  illustrated,  will  suggest  to  Artists  the  use  to  which 
they  are  best  adapted.  For  instance,  F is  double-pointed,  affording  a peculiar 
touch  when  pressed  laterally  on  the  canvas;  G is  carefully  made  to  resemble  a 
worn  brush,  but  not  cut  or  trimmed ; H is  of  long,  feathery  edge,  affording  sweep- 
ing touches  — and  so  on  through  the  list.

Note.— The  Easels  Nos.  208,  214,  215,  216,  221  have  the  patent  combination  of 
ratchets,  pawls  and  lever  for  regulating  height  of  shelf.  This  eombinatlon  is  of 
iron,  very  light,  firm  and  durable. 

The  Easels  Nos.  214,  210,  217,  222  222a,  2226  have  the  patent  brace  applied  in 
different  ways.  The  need  of  somo  support  of  this  kind  has  long  been  felt,  espec- 
ially In  light  Easels,  where  a slight  blow  upon  the  rear  leg,  or  an  accidental  knock 
against  the  Easel  would  cause  it  to  spread  apart  or  topple  over.  This  brace 
obviates  all  difficulties  of  this  kind,  will  brace  tho  Easel  firmly  at  any  angle,  and 
does  not  interfere  with  closing  it  together. 

l etters  Patent  have  been  granted  for  above  improvements  under  date  of  June 
6th,  1877,  and  May  27th,  1879.

No.  228  Double  or  Reversible  Easel,  the  same  as  No.  227  except  that  it 
has  an  Extra  Shelf  on  the  opposite  side,  and  the  manner  of 
raising  the  Shelves  is  by  the  Patent  Combination  of  Ratch- 
ets, Pawls  and  Lever.  One  side  of  Easel  can  be  inclined  like 
No.  227, $35.00 

Note.— The  Upright  Easel,  No.  215,  and  the  French  Studio  Easels,  should  either 
of  them  be  required  for  use  upon  an  uneven  floor,  can  be  leveled  by  a thumb- 
screw attached  to  the  front,  right-hand  castor. 

Any  of  the  French  Studio  Easels,  described  above,  can  be  furnished  at  much 
less  coat  by  using  the  patent  combination  of  ratchets,  pawls,  and  lover,  instead  of 
the  Lron  screw  and  crank,  for  regulating  height  of  shelf.

Note.— We  have  recently  added  to  our  line  of  fine  Instruments,  from  No.  489  to 
No.  634  of  this  Catalogue,  a superior  kind,  of  Swiss  manufacture,  that  our  custom- 
ers may  have  a greater  variety  from  which  to  make  their  selections.  These  In- 
struments are  recommended  as  being,  in  every  respect,  first  class.  The  excellence 
of  Kern’s  celebrated  Instruments  (manufactured  at  Aarau,  Switzerland),  in  which 
we  always  have  dealt  largely,  is  too  well  known  to  the  profession  to  require 
praise  from  us.  Alteneder’s  Instruments  take  rank  with  the  above  Swiss  Instru- 
ments; but  being  somewhat  lighter  in  construction,  are  preferred  by  many  for 
this  quality.

C Tiamu)  ^Wiitina’ 

Is  an  accomplishment  desirable  for  every  Scholar,  whatever  profession  lie  may 
follow.  Engineers,  Architects  and  Draughtsmen  will  use  It  for  titles  and  lettering 
on  drawings.  Headings  in  books,  on  policies,  contracts,  leases,  etc.,  are  distinct 
and  ornamental  when  written  in  this  style. 

Note.— The  new  System  of  ornamental  writing,  called  Bound  Writing,  lately 
introduced  in  this  country,  has  met  with  an  unexpected  and  flattering  success, 
although  the  copies  furnished  for  instruction  and  exercise  were  written  In  Ger- 
man. A new  edition  in  English  is  now  published  under  the  following  titles  : 

A.—  Handbook  for  Self-instruction  and  Exercise. 

B — Copybook  for  Instruction  in  Schools. 

The  handbook  is  a carefully  written  guide  to  the  whole  system;  how  to  form 
the  letters  and  to  avoid  mistakes;  including  28  pages  of  finely  lithographed 
plates,  with  numbers,  alphabets,  etc.,  for  exercise.  The  copybook  for  schools 
contains  the  28  plates  for  exercise  only,  reserving  the  necessary  explanation  for 
the  teacher. 


Round  Writing  Pens, 


Single  and  Double  Points, 


Are  especially  invented  and  made  for  this  kind  of  script,  with  which  it  can  be 
written  as  rapidly  as  common  handwriting. 

Note.— We  advise  all  who  wish  to  acquire  perfection  in  this  new  style  of  writ- 
ing to  buy  the  Book  for  Self-instruction  if  there  is  no  competent  teacher.  The 
use  of  the  pens  without  the  proper  guide  will  discourage  the  beginner. 


Soennecken’s  Fluent  Writing  Pens, 


(Constructed  on  the  principle  of  the  Round  Writing  pens),  have  the  following 
important  features.  1—The  pen  r&pdres  no  pressure,  and,  therefore,  writes  easier 
and  more  rapidly  than  other  pens.  2— The  above  peculiarity  and  the  shape  of 
the  points  prevent  scratching  entirely,  even  on  rough  paper.  8 — They  give  the 
writing  the  appearance  of  uniformity  and  steadiness  not  equalled  with  other  pens. 
4— Requiring  no  pressure,  they  wear  slightly,  outlast  others,  and  are  thus  cheaper.

Ferro-Prussiate  Paper. 

Ferro-Prueslate  Paper  is  now  largely  used  by  architects  and  engineers  for  the 
easy  and  rapid  duplication  of  drawings,  tracings,  contracts,  estimates,  etc.,  in 
fact  all  drawings  and  writings,  provided  they  are  on  paper  allowing  light 
to  pass  through,  and  used  on  one  side  only.  Tbe  following  ai*e  some  of  the 
qualities  It  possesses: 

1.  It  keeps  any  length  of  time  If  kept  In  a dark  and  dry  place,  and  is  con. 
sequently  always  ready  for  use. 

2.  If  exposed  to  light  behind  a drawing  or  tracing,  it  will  give  a clear  and 
perfect  reproduction  of  the  original,  showing  clear  white  lines  on  a blue  back- 
ground. 

3.  By  its  use  all  mistakes  of  figures  or  lines  are  avoided, — the  reproduction 
being  made  photographically,  the  copy  must  necessarily  be  an  exact  counter- 
part of  the  original 

The  superiority  of  the  results,  and  low  price  of  the  paper,  make  it  an  indis- 
pensable article  in  an  office  where  accuracy  is  desired.

“TREE  DRAWING,"  in  Two  Parts, 

AND 

“BLOCKING  OUT,”  In  Two  Parts, 

BY  B.  F.  NUTTING. 

No.  763. 

The  first  consists  of  exercises  for  acquiring  the  “ touch,”  or  mechanical  expert- 
ness necessary  not  only  In  drawing  trees  from  nature,  but  In  making  copies  from 
lithographs  or  photographs.  With  these  exercises  examples  are  given,  with 
directions  for  commencing,  proceeding  with,  and  finishing  a tree. 

The  second  consists  6f  various  examples  for  copying,  with  the  “blocking  out” 
in  different  stages  attached.  Its  object  Is  to  start  beginners  In  a right  direction, 
and  to  correct  In  others  the  Influence  of  bad  methods.  Teachers  who  use  the 
blackboard  will  find  this  work  very  helpful.

and  are  unsurpassed  for  durability  and  transparency.  We  warrant  them  not  to

Our  Parchment  Papers  are  very  strong,  stretch  well  on  the  board,  erase  well, 
take  inks,  colors  and  pencil  like  ordinary  drawing  paper,  and  combine  all 
qualities  of  drawing  and  tracing  papers. 

The  extensive  use  of  the  Blue  Process  for  copying  drawings  gives  the 
Parchment  drawing  papers  special  value,  as  Blue  Process  copies  can  be  taken 
directly  from  drawings  made  on  these  papers  without  first  making  a tracing.

The  Adolfi  Process. 

A Medium  for  Painting  on  Slllts,  Satins,  etc.,  In  Oil  Colors. 

The  art' of  painting  in  oil  on  silks,  satins  and  similar  materials,  has  long  been 
sought  for,  but  without  success,  owing  to  the  want  of  a process  by  which  the 
colors  used  could  be  rendered  supple,  and  not  liable  to  crack  when  the  goods 
painted  with  them  were  made  up  into  ladies’  dresses,  curtains,  etc.  By  this 
invention,  the  satin,  or  other  material,  preserves  its  suppleness  intact;  the  colors 
are  bright  and  clean,  and  have  the  power  of  refracting  the  different  tints  of 
the  material  upon  which  the  picture  is  painted,  thereby  producing  a novel  and 
.beautifal  effect.  Another  merit  of  this  process  is  that  the  colors  do  not  become 
faint  or.  dull  by  exposure  to  the  air,  but  seem  to  gain  increased  brilliancy  after 
the  silks,  and  satins,  on  which  they  have.  been  used,  have  beenjcept  for^  years.

Higgins'  American  Drawing  Ink. 


No.  795. 

This  American  Ink  is  strictly  an 
American  Product,  being  produced  ac- 
cording to  a new  formula,  by  a new 
proces8,and  with  new  apparatus.  It  is 
much  finer,  more  intensely  black,  and 
more  perfectly  fluid  than  India  or  any 
other  iDk.  The  finest  lines  of  the  most 
intense  blackness,may  be  drawn  with 
it  continuously;  aqd  it  will  work 
longer  in  the  pen  without  cleaning  or 
refilling,  than  any  known  Ink.  It  is 
not  a solid  ink  ground  up,  but  is  a 
New  Native  Ink,  made  fluid  from  the 
outset;  and  it  will  never  become  gel- 
atinous, thick,  or  offensive,  or  deposit 
carbon,  like  all  so-called  “Liquid 
Inks”  with  which  Draughtsmen  have 
been  heretofore  afflicted.  It  thus  fills 
the  long-felt  want  of  Draughtsmen. 

A Perfect  Liquid  Ink.  Always  ready. 
Always  good. 

This  Ink  is  put  up  in  a special  bottle 
(see  cut),  with  a device  for  filling  the 
pen  superior  to  the  usual  brush,  and  is 
thus  ready  for  instant  use,  and  is  sold 
at  the  popular  Price  per  Bottle,  .26 

To  suit  different  kinds  of  drawing, 
Mid  meet  the  preferences  of  some 
Draughtsmen,  two  kinds  of  ink  are 
supplied,  viz.: 


General  Drawing  Ink  — (Red  Seal.) 

Which  Is  suitable  for  all  general  drawing,  whether  llne9  or  tints!  or  for  pen  or 
brush  work.  This  quality  is  almost  Identical  with  the  finer  kinds  of  India  Ink, 
but  is  much  preferable  in  being  already  fluid,  aud  In  being  finer  and  blacker. 
It  flows  very  smooth  and  firm,  and  will  work  well  on  any  drawing  surface,  In 
either  fine  or  heavy  lines. 


Waterproof  Drawing  Ink ---(Black  Seal). 

This  Ink  Is  best  for  all  working,  architectural,  map,  or  other  drawing  designed 
to  stand  moisture,  rough  handling  or  washing  over  with  colors.  Lines  drawn 
with  this  Ink  will  resist  washlug  immediately  after  drying.  It  is  not  recom- 
mended for  brush  shading,  but  for  lining  or  solid  black  work  is  superb.  It  Is 
the  best  ink  for  Whatman’s  or  other  hard  papers,  on  which  it  flows  freely,  giving 
fine,  solid  black  lines,  and  la  more  limpid  than  the  General. 

If  desired,  a special  ink  for  Brush  Shading  with  a biuelsh  tone  can  be  furnished 
to  order. 

For  tracings,  the  General  or  Waterproof  Is  recommended.  For  Patent  Office 
or  other  Photo-Drawings  the  General  Is  usually  recommended,  but  the  Water- 
proof may  also  be  used.  These  two  qualities  will  enable  any  kind  of  work  to 
be  executed  with  satisfaction. 

If  required,  these  inks  may  be  ftirnlshed  also  in  a pasty  or  solid  condition, 
and  may  be  readily  dissolved  in  water  to  the  desired  density,  no  grinding  being 
necessary. 

These  Liquid  Inks  are  all  put  up  at  standard  density  sufficient  for  the  blackest 
or  strongest  drawing,  and  their  use  thus  Insures  uniform  work.  For  some  kinds 
of  drawings,  however,1  the  ink  may  be  diluted,  If  desired,  but  it  is  not  recom- 
mended.

A.  Siillochau's  Indestructible  Black  Drawing  Ink, 


Is  the  best  and  cheapest  in  the  market  for  Artists,  Architects, 
Draughtsmen,  eto.  Used  and  endorsed  by  the 
U.  S.  Government  Engineers. 

This  Ink  Is  comparatively  new,  and  as  a substitute 
for  India  Ink  it  has  many  advantages  and  is  much 
cheaper.  , It  is  jet  black.  Water  will  not  blur  It. 
Acids  or  chemicals  will  not  remove  it.  It  is  always 
ready  for  use  and  does  away  with  the  disagreeable 
task  of  having  to  be  rubbed  dowD  ’*  as  is  the  case 
with  India  Ink.  Colors  can  be  put  over  It  without 
blurring  in  the  least. 

When  used  in  the  ruling  pen,  it  should  occasion- 
ally be  wiped  out.  as  any  Ink  that  is  made  to  dry 
as  readily,  and  has  as  heavy  a body  as  this  will 
natually  clog  up  if  left  to  dry  in  the  pen. 

When  used  with  a brush  it  cannot  be  excelled. 

If  found  too  thick  dilute  with  distilled  or  good 
clear  water. 

Ask  for  A.  Mlllochau's  (pronounced  Mlll-o-shaws). 
Use  no  other;

Duplex  Paper. 

No.  801. 

A new  Detail  Drawing  Paper  introduced  by  us  in  place  of  Manila  Paper,  has 
met  with  great  success.  It  Is  tough,  hard,  and  uniform  In  grain  and  finish, 
stands  erasing,  and  takes  ihk  and  water  color  perfectly. 

The  buff  or  cream  color  Is  very  agreeable  to  the  eye  and  admits  of  handling 
without  soiling.  This  paper  will  be  welcomed  by  all  who  are  tired  of  using 
Manila  paper  for  drawing.  Although  the  price  per  pound  is  much  above  that 
of  Manila,  the  paper  Is  so  much  lighter,  owing  to  the  entire  absence  of  mineral 
adulterations,  that  there  Is  hardly  any  difference  in  the  price  per  yard.
